Apple TV Plus just released the official trailer for Platonic Season 2, and it’s clear that Will and Sylvia are still toeing the line between platonic bliss and total emotional disaster. The fan favorite comedy, starring Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne, is back with more cringe, more chaos, and yes, more codependency.
So what’s the deal this season? The new trailer gives us a sneak peek into what happens when old flames, new weddings, questionable career choices, and relentless immaturity collide. Spoiler alert: no one is handling anything well, and that’s exactly why we love it.
Let’s break down everything we know about Platonic Season 2 from the trailer, the cast, the plot, and what makes this return worth watching.
The Platonic Season 2 Trailer Is Out and It Is Wild
The Platonic Season 2 trailer begins with Will (Seth Rogen) and Sylvia (Rose Byrne) doing what they do best — spiraling. There are golf balls flying into private property, awkward encounters with new romantic partners, and emotional freakouts in public places. You know, friendship goals.
Right from the first few scenes, the trailer reminds us that this is not your average buddy comedy. Will is still fumbling through life, post-divorce, and Sylvia is deep into her identity crisis, trying to reclaim some version of herself that isn’t buried under soccer mom schedules and Pinterest boards.
And of course, they are still deeply entangled in each other's lives. Their chaotic energy is magnetic and exhausting, and we cannot look away.
When Does Platonic Season 2 Premiere?
Apple TV Plus officially announced that Platonic Season 2 will premiere on Wednesday, August 6, 2025. The first two episodes will drop at once, with new episodes released weekly through October 1.
That gives you just enough time to rewatch Season 1 and remind yourself of all the hilarious disasters that led to this point.
Who Is Back for Season 2?
Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne are obviously back as the disastrously codependent duo. But they are not alone. Fan favorites like Luke Macfarlane and Carla Gallo return, and the season brings in some new comedic firepower with guest appearances by:
Aidy Bryant
Kyle Mooney
Beck Bennett
Milo Manheim
This cast lineup promises even more awkward run-ins, passive aggressive banter, and emotionally stunted conversations. Honestly, we wouldn’t have it any other way.
What’s Going On This Season?
Based on the trailer and official synopsis, Season 2 picks up with Will and Sylvia trying to get their lives together — or at least pretending to. Will is navigating a new business venture, which seems to involve getting yelled at on a golf course. Sylvia is planning a wedding and possibly losing her mind in the process.
Their friendship, as usual, gets in the way of everything. Romantic partners are confused, therapists are concerned, and their kids are probably just happy to be offscreen.
The genius of Platonic is that it explores the kind of friendship that is way too intense for adulthood but somehow still endearing. Will and Sylvia have no boundaries and zero self-awareness, which makes for incredibly satisfying television.
Why You Should Be Watching
If you missed Season 1, now is the time to catch up. Platonic is one of those rare comedies that manages to be both heartwarming and totally inappropriate. It captures the weird limbo of middle age, where nothing feels stable and every decision is laced with regret.
But more importantly, it is laugh out loud funny. The chemistry between Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne is unmatched. Their timing, their expressions, their complete lack of impulse control — it is TV gold.
Season 2 promises to deliver even more mess, and we are here for every second of it.
Platonic Is the Midlife Crisis You’ll Want to Watch
The Platonic Season 2 trailer is everything fans could hope for. It is chaotic, heartfelt, uncomfortably relatable, and absolutely hilarious. With a stellar cast, sharp writing, and more uncomfortable moments than you can count, this season is shaping up to be even better than the first.
So mark your calendars for August 6 and get ready to cringe, cackle, and possibly question all your friendships.
